All in a day’s work? NOT!!!

All in a day’s work? NOT!!!

Hi there. Thanks for joining me on this overcast, cloudy day. Just ticking a few boxes for the TV shows on HOCHANDA tomorrow. Demo Boxes packed, tick. Art samples packed, tick.  Producer notes written and photocopied, tick.  That’s another little hidden job which always needs doing, you see. When I do a demo, I list absolutely everything I am going to use, including product codes. I write down what I’m going to do, how long it’s going to take, which demos…

Everybody’s got Something.

Everybody’s got Something.

Hi there. Thanks for popping in. I’ve been busy today, getting ready for the TV shows on Sunday. It’s been a pleasant day, actually.  But today I want to talk about my friend, Brenda. Many of you know her.  She and I write to each other often, and enjoy a very special friendship. She lives in Scotland and I live darn sarf, so writing is our way to stay in touch and support each other. She sent me the most…

Let’s get passionate!

Hi there. Thanks for popping in. It’s all go here at Clarity, I can tell you! It’s all good though.  Teamwork makes the dream work, that’s for sure. I wanted to talk about passion today. No, no, no. Not fruity!! Not that torrid sex kinda passion! I do have a vague recollection of that though….saw a film once. Something about a Last Tango in Paris… (which is all very well until you realise Marlon Brando was only 5ft 7” !)…

Youtube Tuesday Glitter and Sticky Ink

Youtube Tuesday Glitter and Sticky Ink

Hi there. Thanks for popping in! YouTube Tuesday this week broaches a subject which is often brought up: Mapping pens, Sticky Ink and Perga Glitter.  I love that the Sticky Ink stays sticky until I am ready to apply the glitter. That means I can draw beautiful fine lines of liquid glue wherever I want to add glitter – and  don’t have to rush.  Watch Rosie this week, as she take us down the Pergamano Glitter road…. As always, there…

New labels new Plates!

New labels new Plates!

Hi there. Thanks for popping in. Wanted to flag a couple of things up: firstly, when your new Groovi plates arrive now,  they should come with a label on them. These labels are not just intended to irritate you! No, No, No! (first thing I do when I buy a new top is cut the label out! Brand name be gone! Cannot stand itchy scratchy at the back!) But these labels are there for a very good reason. It’s called…

A New Gelpress Trick – or Two?

A New Gelpress Trick – or Two?

Hi there. Thanks for joining me. Finally came upstairs to my little artroom to play today. I’ve had a rare week off, of sorts, and actually had time to go for a meander through Pinterest. Do you ever do that?  I start off looking at amazing Alcohol ink art, and end up reading a recipe for carrot cheesecake! I love doing that. Just roaming through Pinterest, soaking up the creativity. Every now and then I see something which sticks, something…
